The Artorian Dynasty continues the story of the Artorius family decades after the events of The Artorian Chronicles. Where the original series followed one man — Titus Artorius Justus — from recruit to centurion, this sequel series tracks his descendants through the expanding and contracting Roman Empire.

Isle of Mist (2020) serves as a prelude set in Hibernia (Ireland), and Empire of the North opens the main sequence. The series spans the reigns of the Flavian emperors through Hadrian, covering crises on the Danube, campaigns in Mesopotamia, and the politics of imperial succession. James Mace has been prolific with this series, publishing three to four books per year in 2023 and 2024. It connects directly to The Year of the Four Emperors and The Great Jewish Revolt, forming one continuous Roman timeline.
